That's why

I titled my book "Delusional Democracy;" check it out at www.delusionaldemocracy.com.  And remember delusional democracy breeds delusional prosperity.  And don't forget we have delusional elections that will never produce the systemic, revolutionary reforms we sorely need.

Are They Really Delusional?

Mr. Hirschhorn, I am a great fan of your writings and have read (at least almost) all your articles, available here and elsewhere.

 I long thought the apparently deliberate destruction of America's middle class, standing in the world, etc. were deliberate. Lately I have begun to wonder if Cheney et. al. actually are delusional and insane.

Thanks for the link and best regards. Keep up the good work please.

great article

I can't stand Dick Cheney. I have nothing good to say about him. I usually call him the satan worshipping Dick Cheney. I also know he uses the "N" word and rather despises blacks. I have a friend that was on a fishing trip with him (in the same boat) and said he called the blacks the "N" word in several sentences. Yes, he was VP at the time.

Again, how does one survive FOUR heart attacks? Is he human even? I mean really, if he had a transplant I could see it, but he hasn't ever had a transplant to my knowledge.

I hope dharma gets him...I really do. I think it's entertaining that him and Bush have to be sneeked in and snuck around Iraq! :D

DICB

Most of the people I know of Native Heritage don't hate white folks but we think they, & their world are crazy.  Only 113 years since the last of the Native Tribes were murdered off with the remainder put on Reservations or in jail all for living upon their own land that no longer belonged to them, but now belonged to white folk.

God is watching & listening.

The bigger the lie

"The bigger the lie, the easier the sell" was one of Hitler's most remembered quotes.

Goebels was the originator and the Nazis high command relied on the accuracy of that quote to keep the good Germans from the truth.

It works on any nation, and the lies started even before 9-11, and then kept going, all to keep the good American people from the truth.

Get rid of Dick, the legally prescibed way

Build up a yellow red white black global movement DEMANDING impeachment. Get out the Americocentric thinking and pay attention to the WORLD demand for justice.

Get out the word on what is really happening and make a movement to get economic sanctions against anyone supporting this bloodless coup that took over in 2000 - with the blessing of HiLAIRy Clinton who could not run herself. That great manager who is supposed to put America on track - in fact that one she PUT off track, using a voter base of dependent personalities to get her to be the RULER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.

the way to HURT them who supportr her is sto cripple their pocketbooks. People are STILL capitulating all over themselves. (look at Ralph Nadar, folks@ GEt over your resentments, that way lies hope, real hope.)

NOT ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS DESERVES support if they do not support that strike at this late date.

The actions of Ron Paul are absolutley disgusting and yet people KEEP GIVING THIS MAN MONEY!!

I write constantly, resolutely for impeachment - I don't get a single dime and NO support from supposedly antiwar "activists" Yet I get ignored again and again because I live in povery in exile. I know what it took to end the Vietnam war - I was there I was active even then. The biggest thing that worked was showing pictures of babies who were born with agent orange and the massive energy coming from returning troops who said ENOUGH! We never got the General Strike we were after, but we sure tried hard.

Now we have winter soliders whose voices were lost to the MSM but they are available to be heard. We have IAVA.org exposing the homelessness and abuses and releasing the number of those actually harmed in Irak (the du numbers are not fully known yet, btw)

So lets show people the pictures of 9 year old prostitutes working Syria to be breadwinners . victims of Saudi rich guys in bars. Let's show people pictures of orphanages in Baghdad orpaniges, and the du babies in Afghanistan. This is no time to "make nice".

And the general strike day, the url information to appoint a special prosecutor should be given out, just as I posted it, here on OpEd News.

The IMPORTANT information contains the international laws that apply that can help us build a rainbow coaltion. We need environmentalists, those who are losing them homes, people sick of racism, all human rights activists, people who have been living in fear of a war in Iran, or Syria, people who are truly sickened by the genocide in Gaza, children who want a future, those opposing the truly toxic Texas fence ..

Forget Keith Olbermann. write and demand he cover the general strike and demands impeachment himelf!! then support him. Write Jonathan Turley.

red, white, brown, yellow and ALL global citizens involved - it really is a matter of now or never as who knows what it next. To depend on the Democratic part at this late stage of the game would be laughable if it were not so tragic. THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP THERE. The attic of the democratic party where the progressive believe hope can be had is NOT ENOUGH. Too late, Jose.

When someone attacks the US or tortures a US soldier the US cycnic has only themselves to blame .. no more finger pointing at everyone in the BuZh adminstration; it's a culture condoning TORTURE of every living thing on this planet if you just cuddle yourself with PHONEY CNN news. A brief real veiw of what is happening globally that economic stimulus checks can not buy moral responsibility in an insane world.

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_ladybroa_080411_we_al_l_need_to_be_o.htm

Put the entire thing on CDROMS, hand it around -- this is important information. Get your neighbors involved, take it to churches what ever you NEED to do, not what you WANT to do - -that way lays DYSFUNCTION.

I have been around long enough on this planet to see that SEXISM, systemic SEXISM is still around and florishing and I get totally ignored here on a supposedly progressive site.

But for the sake of me, my sons, my grandchildren, I am appearling to everyone who reads this thread. Read that information, dispense it, sign my global citizens petition and pass it around!

It is absolutely disappointing to see how few signed my petition, a real heart breaker and IT SHOULD NOT BE SO.

And lastly, write th ICC yourselves, tell them of your complaints. Also call the ACLU and tell them not one more penny and no membership until they release their impeachment brochure. FOR SHAME! they add to people's cyncicism, they are NOT doing the right thing.

Our motto should be DO THE RIGHT THING - and it should go right across the board and bring people together at last. That means THEY do the right thing as WE do the right thing.

And I specifically refer you to this item:

Immediate Appointment of Special Prosecutor

As a result of the expected pardons, a special prosecutor should be appointed immediately

Commencement of Impeachment Proceedings

As a result of the expected pardons, on the day after the November elections, the House of Representatives should impeach George W. Bush and Richard "Dick" Cheney for high crimes -- torture -- violating the following statutes, among others:

18 USC 3231
18 USC Sections 2340-2340A
18 USC 2441

Please note the strategic importance of simply presenting the impeachment to members of the House with no hearings and an immediate vote on the day after the November elections. There is no reason for hearings or delay, since George W. Bush has admitted the criminal act that is the basis of the impeachment.

International Crimes Not Subject to Pardon Power

It is worth pointing out that torture violations of the Law of War and international treaties are not subject to the Presidential pardon power. We will see these individuals on trial in the Hague for their publicly confessed war crimes.

"Above the Law: Unlawful Executive Authorizations Regarding Detainee Treatment, Secret Renditions, Domestic Spying and Claims to Unchecked Executive Power," Jordan J. Paust, Utah Law Review, 2007, Number 2, Pages 345 to 419

Article available free at: click here not let CONgress vote one more penny towards WAR until they appoint a special prosecutor - whey should your hard earned dollars support THEM.

ThinK; They are all riding in Limos, while your relatives are going homeless to fund this INSANE and DELUSIONAL war. They are polluting YOUR skies with chemtrails, feeing you GM foods, asking you to stay IN DENIAL.

I posted the first link to the ILWU strike . the feds are all over them as racketters !! Why is the DoJ paying for THAT instead of going after the gubbermint? Why is John Yoo not charged with crimes? Why was Valerie Plame outted and no justice has been served?

Call up members of the National Lawyers Guild in your town, get them to hand out information with in the malls, SERIOUSLY. Now ist NOT the time for cycnicism and excuses.

Please sign this now to show her WE MEAN BUSINESS!!

My OWN global petition demands signatories now!!

Here is the link:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/global-people-for-the-impeachment-of-richard-cheney

There is NO REASON to fear signing this now: The mainstream media has now turned the momentum in our favor!!

And please don't put online petitions DOWN, they are IMPORTANT educational tools -and the Feds hate them, trust me.

Take all this and make appointments with your state's attorney general and tell them .. we will get rid of you if you don't uphold your oath of office.

The NLG should be visiting California's AG very shortly over the John Yoo issue.

STAY TUNED, stay up, stay on their case. STay focussed; my best advice.

The Bilderbergers meet in June, the crazies in government are trying to get sweet trade deals for themselves, the torturers aren't punished, the nation is on it's knees and you say SITUATION HOPELESS. Don't buy it.

Think global, think local act out against the regime as best you can.

All I can do is put out pamphlets . and I do it on a very skinny dime but I do it everyday, so can you. This is the fight of a life time. Rage, rage against the dieing of the light! DO THE RIGHT THING.
